Damages to the engine of the car caused by water getting into the motor.

Please see full details listed on the backside of rental agreement.

Theft protection (TP):
TP covers theft of rental vehicle and is included in the price.

Gravel protection / Sand and ash (GP/SADW):
Gravel protection includes damage to windscreen, headlights and the car when gravel or rocks get thrown on the vehicle by another car. Due to the recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland the risk of damage to the paint and windows of our cars has increased. No insurance has been covering such damage and insurance companies refuse to cover them. Even though all safety rules are followed damage can happen when for example wind starts blowing more than was forecasted thus moving the sand/ash and damaging the car.

These new circumstances have shown us the need to protect our customers from high damage costs due to sand/ash storms that might occur. For our customers protection we have decided to offer an insurance which covers this kind of damage. This new insurance SADW, or Sand Ash Damage Waiver, covers our customers against damage due to ash/sandstorm damaging the paint of the car, windows, lights and plastic. SADW can be bought separately and is in no relation with other insurances.

Full package
You have the option to combine Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) and the Gravel Protection / Sand and Ash Waiver (GP/SADW) into one package to have the best insurance coverage in place to protect you from the unexpected.
